Canada cap as of February 11, 2012

Herewith is the Canada Cap as of February 11, 2012.

This is in line with the Ministerial Instruction 3, in the Federal Skilled Workers application.

Note: Due to the high volume of applications we receive, the CIO cannot review each application for completeness on the same day it arrives at the office. The numbers on this page are updated at least once a week, but these figures are meant as a guide only. There is no guarantee that an application sent in now will fall within the cap by the time it reaches the CIO.
